2 Month Appointment

Today was Michael's two month appointment. He weighs 14 pounds and 12 ounces! He gained a whole 3 pounds and 5 ounces in one month. He is in the 97th percentile for weight. He is only 23 inches long (I think he is 23 1/2), which is the 50th percentile. (When he was born he was 7 pounds 9 ounces and 19 1/2 in length. So he's almost doubled his birth weight!) I'm officially putting away the 0-3 months clothes and we are moving into the 3-6 months clothes. He had to get his first round of vaccinations today. That was not fun for either of us. He screamed and I almost cried. He seemed okay afterwards, but he was really sleepy in the afternoon. We'll see how he is in the next few hours/days. We (Ian and I) celebrated his 2 month birthday with cupcakes.

He is starting to figure out that he can bring his fist to his mouth and suck on it. We've also noticed that he is (slightly) pinching us. He still enjoys playing "peek-a-boo" and loves his changing table. He is now sleeping in his crib still swaddled in his Miracle Blanket though (see the photo). We'll try to ween him off that in the next few weeks. He takes his naps during the day all over the place - swing, pack-n-play, bouncer chair. We are still working on getting video on this blog.

Hello! As a result of much prompting from friends we are going to try to maintain a blog on Michael's life. This is our first time blogging, so we are really not sure what we are doing. Hopefully, we'll figure out how to get pictures up and possibly videos. Right now, there is a link below to some slideshows in Picasa. You should be able to click on the link and then click on a button for a slide show. We hope this is a way for our friends and family to get an update if they want to see what is going on. And it will be an electronic memory book! Not sure how often we'll update at this point, but we'll try our best. Hope you enjoy the blog and feel free to send comments or suggestions.

Toni, Ian, and Michael
